Cory Burke and Jamiro Monteiro each scored to help the Philadelphia beat the Montreal Impact 3-0 on Saturday for the Union’s fourth win in their last five games.

Burke stole a lazy pass near midfield and then took a few dribbles before blasting a roller from outside the area just inside the far post to give Philadelphia (4-3-1) a 1-0 lead in the 14th minute.

Monteiro, a 25-year old on loan from FC Metz through June, converted from the spot in the 45th for his first MLS goal after Jack Elliott drew a foul conceded by Zakaria Diallo.

Alejandro Bedoya tapped in an empty-netter to cap the scoring 57th minute.

Montreal (3-3-2) had its three-game unbeaten streak snapped and conceded a goal for the first time since a 7-1 loss to Sporting Kansas City on March 30.

“We didn’t have a good game,” said Impact head coach Remi Garde. “We started off badly and we didn’t control the rhythm. The three goals they managed to score came during important moments in the game. I’m frustrated for my players, because I know we can be better, individually and collectively, but most importantly, we must be better.”

Philadelphia’s Kai Wagner was shown a straight red card, after video review, in the 90th minute.
